With 7 Watts, the Snapdragon has less than half the Intel's and Apple's TDP, though. Also, the i7-1355U only became available in 2023.

The confirmed upgrades to 8 performance cores (from 4), ARMv9, PCIe 4, DDR5 RAM and possibly a higher TDP will bring significant performance gains with Gen 4.

But in principle I agree to you, I wouldn't use it yet.

Edit: Also, why leave AMD out :) https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/4774vs4104vs4794vs4102/...
